Hey there, Exile! So you're looking to get your hands on some of the best legendary weapons in Conan Exiles, especially with the Age of War update shaking things up? That's a smart move. While the game throws a ton of cool gear at you, not all legendary weapons are created equal. The good news is, you don't *have* to stick to one weapon type to be a total beast. Most weapon types have legendary options that can absolutely wreck face. It really boils down to what feels good in your hands. We'll point out some standouts as we go, but honestly, pick the weapon you love swinging!

We're going to cover the following main weapon types. Feel free to jump ahead if you're only interested in a specific category:

Best Legendary Swords in Conan Exiles

When it comes to swords, you've got your trusty one-handed blades and the heavy-hitting two-handed ones. The one-handed swords usually pack a bit less punch on their own, but they open up the possibility of using a shield or even a throwing axe in your off-hand, which can be super useful.

One-Handed Swords

For one-handed swords, there are three absolute standouts that offer not just great damage, but also some seriously sweet perks. We're talking about the Alligator Bite, Render, and the Sword of Champions. You can check out their stats in the table below, but the Sword of Champions really takes the cake with the highest damage output and a slight edge in armor penetration.

Sword	Damage	Armor Penetration	Perks	Durability	Weight	Dmg Type
Alligator Bite	74	19%	Gouging	2,700	5.25	Agility
Render	74	19%	Cripple	2,700	5.25	Agility
Sword of Champions	83	20%	Bleed	900	2.63	Agility

Now, let's talk perks. If you're already familiar with effects like Bleed and Gouge, you know they're great for dealing damage over time. Bleed can stack up to 20 times, dishing out a total of 27 damage per second, while Gouge also stacks up to 20 times but caps at 20 damage per second. The catch? Bleed only lasts for 8 seconds, but Gouge sticks around for a solid 20 seconds. So, which one is better really depends on how long your fights usually last and how many hits you can land. You might find the Alligator Bite more useful in certain situations because of that longer Gouge duration, but in most fights, the Sword of Champions will likely win out with its raw damage.

The Render sword is a bit different. It ditches the damage-over-time perks for the Cripple effect. This is awesome for slowing down enemies – we're talking a 30-50% movement speed reduction, depending on how many times you hit them. It stacks up to 5 times, but fair warning, the effect only lasts for 2 seconds. So, if you want to keep enemies from running circles around you, especially in PvP, you'll need to keep those hits coming!

It's a bummer we can't dual-wield two one-handed swords in Conan Exiles right now, but you'll have to pick the one that best fits your combat style and what you need for the specific fight ahead.

Two-Handed Swords

You've got way more choices when it comes to two-handed legendary swords compared to their one-handed cousins, but a few definitely rise to the top. Many of them are pretty similar, so we'll focus on a top 3 here.

Sword	Damage	Armor Penetration	Perks	Durability	Weight	Dmg Type
Annihilator	75	33%	Cripple, Executioner	3,600	5.25	Strength
Mastodon Killer	83	22%	Cripple	3,600	5.25	Strength
The Papyrus Blade	74	24%	Cripple, Paper Cut	3,600	10.50	Strength

Our top picks are the Annihilator, Mastodon Killer, and The Papyrus Blade. The Annihilator might not have the absolute highest base damage, but man, that 33% armor penetration is no joke! Plus, it comes with two killer perks: Cripple and Executioner. We already talked about how good Cripple is, but adding Executioner to the mix is huge. This perk lets you instantly finish off any enemy that's at 10% health or lower. Seriously clutch for those big bosses that take forever to chip down.

So, Annihilator is our top recommendation for a two-handed sword. But if you want a bit more raw damage per swing, the Mastodon Killer is a solid choice. Just keep in mind its armor penetration is lower at 22%, so the Annihilator might still be better against heavily armored foes. Against unarmored enemies, though, the Mastodon Killer should hit harder and it still brings the Cripple perk to the party.

As a third option, consider The Papyrus Blade. It's got damage similar to the Annihilator but less armor penetration (24%). What makes it interesting is the combo of Cripple and Paper Cut. Paper Cut is a bleed effect that does 2 damage per second for 8 seconds. You can't stack it like other bleeds, but it's a nice little bit of damage-over-time if you're looking for that on a two-handed sword.

Best Legendary Axes in Conan Exiles

Axes in Conan Exiles come in three flavors: one-handed, two-handed, and dual-wielded. The two-handed axes generally pack more of a punch in terms of damage, but they're definitely slower to swing than the others. The o
